[hackerspaces] Help me make it happen for 'hackert0wn' on Indiegogo

[Jenny Ryan]

Following this thread with great interest, as friends and I have been
discussing similar dreams and schemes for over a year now. I'm very
impressed by the scope of Hackert0wn but wishing it followed the hacker
ethos of openness and transparency in its planning process. By no means do
I intend to hijack the thread, but last week I helped launch a wiki to
ideate and brainstorm on a 'WikiTown', committed to creating a culture that
effectively hybridizes the hacker/maker, eco/permaculturalist and
countercultural communities.

If you're interested in such a project, please come share your ideas at the
wiki:

Be well,
Jenny
